Re: AMI Dan Marino

Pete,

I tried to send you a PM but your account was not accepting them? You can send me one if you'd like. An "Ultimate" Marino to me would be an unwashed Photomatched jersey with a Letter from Pat Catello (A must!)

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Guess what I found....ain my collection....a game photo of Dan in the 94 TB jersey. The AMI jersey is an exact match with the photo. I am still investigating the equipment manager but Lund....the jersey is an exact match. You can search film all day long....jersey is photo match.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Wow...great photo find that proves he is wearing this style jersey. Pete I would like to see this supposed video you have that disputes this picture.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Even the distance between the numerals on the sleeve and the start of the stripes appears dead on....

great photo. Am I wrong or does the AMI jersey have no white border between the teal and orange on the shoulder numbers and the game photo does.

I don't know how to compose a side by side comparison- can anyone help?

Also, the sleeve striping on the AMI jersey is perfectly alternating where on the game photo the orange seems to be hugging the teal right above it.

Just my opinion, but I think you might have proven that the marino sold by AMI is not the one in the game photo because of the numbers and striping of the left sleeve...

Could it be a backup jersey?

Re: AMI Dan Marino

The stripes do not match up with the game photo, plain as day. Style match only. Probably an "extra" jersey, I don't think the final price was too unreasonable. Would have gone for a lot more with a definite match.

Spacing between the stripes is the same. Keep in mind that Marino is wearing the jersey with pads. In other words the jerseys is stretched as opposed to photo of just jersey. Striping is identical. Again, that does not confirm that it is the same jersey....but it confirms that photo is identical match. I think if Catello verifies equipment manager identified in AMI Coa then highly probable that the jersey is authentic. I have a contact who will attempt to verify info with Catello next week.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Can someone put those photos side by side so we can see the striping on the left sleeve?

And what about the white border in the shoulder numbers?

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Hope this helps.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

There appears to be no separation on AMI jersey. but look at photos of back of jersey. That is what I was referring to earlier, it can be deceptive to look at jersey and not take into consideration that separation will be more evident when stretched with pads. The photo of the back of the jersey shows separation.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

The "W" looks to be touching the orange outline of the number in the game photo. Looking at the back of the jersey in the auction listing, there looks to be a space between the W and the number on the left sleeve. A great jersey though even if it wasn't actually worn!

Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about. Looking at the AMI jersey, the stripes on the left sleeve (if you were wearing the jersey, it would be your left sleeve) are evenly screened.

The right sleeve, if you were wearing the jersey had the stripes screened slightly off.

Those match the corresponding sides in the shot of the back of the ami jersey.

And they don't match the corresponding sleeve in the autographed photo you were kind enough to post.

To say it a different way, the spacing on the stripes on Dan Marino's left sleeve in the autographed photo don't match the photo of the ami jersey

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Here are several issues to ponder:
1. Can anyone tell for sure from the auction house photos (or asked the question during the auction) whether the auctioned jersey has satin shoulders or mesh shoulders?
2. Does the bottom tip of the "V" of the neck collar of the auctioned jersey touch the horizontal shoulder seam as seen in the Getty photo from the Jets game and ducksdukes photo, or is there a gap?
3. Has anyone established for a fact that Marino wore only one jersey in the Jets throwback game, and only one jersey in the Vikings throwback game the following week? (Players have been known to change at halftime.)
